Malithe water gardener 2

In this picture I took more time to define features I liked in my previous attempt at Mali. But i also changed features that I didn't like. I've kept the purple foliage on the head area, it really gave character to the entity. In a game environment I could assume that the other gardeners had their own style of hair. I've kept the interwoven arm too, I really like the idea that it could untangle itself to form shapes or weapons to fight the Chupwalas. In the book it describes him has being virtually invulnerable to attacks, so i gave him a "tough guy" posture. Gone is the net from the previous Mali picture, iv'e went with the idea that his arm is a like a universal tool, he unwinds it to form certain shapes. Mali now has a lantern, I added it because he guards the streams to the sea of stories 24/7, so naturally he would also be guarding it at night, so he would require a lantern. It takes the shape of an onion, it's just my attempt at making everything natural looking. I restrained from giving him a mouth just to make him more strange and mysterious, i wanted a humanoid body but much of the things that makes someone human, removed. The last thing i removed was the floaty torso, I gave him legs, but they are comprised of twigs, ferns and bushes, he doesn't hover, but he glides across the surfaced of thingd with the bushes simply brushing across the floor.
